Dan Froomkin at Huff Post just doesnt’ get it

Froomkin is projecting.  He (and others) really believe the election integrity movement is a GOP plot to harm democrats.  So he thinks he has a gotcha moment when Republicans are caught engaging in voter registration fraud.  He just doesn’t get it.  It doesn’t matter who is committing the crime, whether a Democrat activist like Lessa Dolla Sowers in Tunica MS or the Republican Indiana Secretary of State, the law is the law.  Democrats like Jim Moran and Dan Froomkin who think they have a gotcha moment when a Republican commits voter fraud just don’t understand the movement.  It’s about the Rule of Law, not party affiliation.

Texas will arrest UN election observers

Texas made it clear that any UN observer who enters the polls will be arrested.  Texas does not allow such people to enter the polls and makes it a criminal offense unless properly credentialed.

I posted the list of observers here.

The observers set for Texas are Conny Jensen of Denmark and Melanie Leathers of the UK.  They better carry around the number of a bailbondsman in Travis County.

“Networks changing exit poll strategy”

A growth in early voting and tough
economy for the media are forcing changes to the exit poll system that
television networks and The Associated Press


‘‘It makes it trickier,’’ said Joe Lenski, executive vice president
of Edison Research, the company that oversees the election operation for
the news organizations. ‘‘It means there are a lot of different pieces
to keep track of.’’

At the link, the networks have recognized their current exit polling has been flawed and  found to be highly off the mark.  So they are switching from in-person interviews to phone interviews.  Consider me skeptical.  A looming concern is that the mainstream media exit polling will be even more inaccurate and misleading to television viewers.
